Planner Guide's Nostalgic Paper Memories has a Face behind the Dot .Com

Valerie Tillery Lucy

The 10 year-old plannersguide.com web site has marked its spot on the net. The site entered its place on the dot.com freeway on May 22, 2000 as a diversion from an unparalleled new life for its designer. Behind this maze of information on the internet is its creator, Valerie Tillery.

After having to quit my job as a social service worker (16 years of experience) in order to care for my 90-year-old grandmother in the home, I sought many avenues to fill my day. Grandmother was a long-time business woman at best. I was now the stay-at-home granddaughter. I direct-cared "Miss Gladys" for 28 months. Then, grandmother passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 23, 2002. She was so ready by this time. She was a quick-minded 92-year-old, former business woman, who offered lots of advice. Granddaddy always thought she was smart. While she provided practical ideas and could quickly calculate profit (or loss), she turned her head and waived her hand in the air at the 21^st century way of doing business and its Internet concept. Even so, she enjoyed receiving email! She'd ask me why people would visit my "computer store!" (hard to explain 'world-wide web' to her). I miss her and miss showing her all these wonderful products.

“Life’s Celebrations” need a Plan!''
